NJIT continues to prove that a Highlander degree pays off! 🎉

Ranked No. 10 among public colleges nationwide for return on investment by Stacker, NJIT offers graduates a projected $1.7 million in 40-year net value. ⚔️

Add that to being ranked No. 1 among New Jersey public universities for alumni salaries and value by The Wall Street Journal, and it’s clear, an NJIT education delivers long after graduation. 🎓

✈️ The Traveling Highlander landed in Boston!

This stop features Anna Wadhwa ’21, who brought our mascot along while sharing what life after NJIT has looked like for her. Anna majored in Biochemistry with minors in Mathematical Biology and Philosophy & Applied Ethics, and she’s now an MD-PhD student at Harvard–MIT Health Sciences and Technology, studying spaceflight biology. 🚀🧬

While reconnecting with fellow Highlanders, Anna loved meeting alumni from different class years and swapping NJIT memories. Anna says, “It’s always amazing to see how our community stays connected no matter where they land”.

Fun fact: Anna has a Russian Blue cat named Laika — inspired by the first animal sent to space during Sputnik 2 mission! 🐱🌌

Where will the Traveling Highlander pop up next? 👀

High above the city with the Highlander community 🏙️

We hosted an alumni event in Boston at the stunning View Boston — and it did not disappoint. With incredible panoramic views of the city as our backdrop, NJIT alumni and friends gathered to reconnect and celebrate the strength of our Highlander network.

The energy in the room was amazing, and the turnout made this event even more special. Here’s to many more opportunities to bring our Boston Highlanders together!
